Jungkook laid on his bed, staring at his ceiling. It's been a week since his date and he still has yet to recover.

If he would forget everything before he saw color, he was certain that he'd date Taehyung. But it's just, he couldn't. He shouldn't.

But, his brother changed out of left field recently and he didn't bat an eye towards it. Even brushing it off. Maybe because they were brothers? That didn't really make much sense.

He sighed, texting Jimin to see what he thought. After a few minutes, Jimin still didn't reply, so Jungkook sighed again. What to do....

"Jimin, please. Try to eat one more bite?" Yoongi asked, pushing the spaghetti closer to him.

"Yoongi, I feel like I'll puke if I eat more." Jimin said, looking down.

Two days ago, Yoongi flat out told Jimin he knew he was skipping meals. That night had a lot of tears from both of them.

The problem was that Yoongi was trying to get Jimin back to what he used to eat. Jimin has spent so long eating small that his stomach couldn't take more than that.

Yoongi sighed, putting the fork down before engulfing Jimin in a hug. "You did so well." He kissed the top of his head.

The stayed hugging for a few minutes before Jimin spoke, "I was thinking I should start going to a psychologist."

"Really? I think that's a great idea."

"I'm just... scared."

"Understandable. Would you like me to join you?" Yoongi carefully asked.

Jimin was quiet for a few seconds, "I'm worried I won't say everything if you're there."

Yoongi nods, "Well then, let me take you and wait for you at the office. Just try one appointment. We'll go from there."

Jimin nuzzled into Yoongi, "Thanks. For just, sticking by me. I know I'm a handful. But with your help, I'm feeling better. I just... need something more."

"Babe," Yoongi pulled out of their cuddle, forcing Jimin to look at him, "in no way am I upset at you for wanting to talk to a physiologist. It was something I wanted to advise to you but I didn't want to rush your healing. The fact you, yourself, wants help is a huge leap. You're so courageous, knowing that you're battling something bigger than you. And I'm so proud of you. Okay?"

Jimin smiled, tears starting to fall, "Okay."

Yoongi pulls him into another hug, kissing his forehead, "It'll be a tough journey. But I'm right here by your side."

"Thank you. I love you so much."

"I love you too."

"So what you're telling me, is you like this person, but can't get past something that happened?" Jeheon asked, both him and Jungkook sitting on his bed.

Since Jimin wasn't responding, Jungkook decided to ask his brother.

"Yeah. I mean...he used to bully me and Jimin. That's something that can't just be forgotten."

His brother nodded, "But it sounds like he has changed. He's showed you many times that he is different. Are you scared he's playing you?"

"No one in their right mind would get bullied for a play."

"Okay then what are you so worried over? If you like him, then I don't see why you shouldn't date him."

Jungkook bit the inside of his cheek before responding, "So your saying I should just forget about it?"

"No, I'm not saying that. I'm saying to maybe move on from it. Did the bullying stop?"

Jungkook nodded.

"And did he show you anything else that shows you he ever will?"

"No...." Jungkook pouted.

His brother smiled, putting his hand on his shoulder, "Jungkook, you aren't in the wrong for being upset over him bullying you. But aren't you being a bit unfair? You aren't giving him a chance to show you how much he's changed. Plus he's your soulmate for a reason."

Jungkook stopped, that's true. He really wasn't giving Taehyung a chance. If he'd be in his shoes, he'd find it unreasonable and frustrating. I mean if he'd really change, he'd want someone to give him a chance. Especially since fate was saying they were soulmates.

"Thanks, Jeheon." They hug. "One more question?"

"Sure, what's up?"

"What... helped you change?"

Jeheon smiled, "I have this classmate. He is the youngest in his family but moved from them due to abuse. Hearing his experience made me realize I've done some things towards you. It made me feel like an awful brother. So asked him for advice."

Jungkook smiled and hugged his brother again, "You should introduce me to him."

"You? Yes. Our parents? Absolutely not. Once I'm old enough, and have a job, I'll get you and him out of that situation."

"You should dorm with him."

"I actually will next semester. Now, enough about my college life, you need to talk to someone. Right?" Jeheon smiled.

"Yeah, yeah I do."

Jungkook got ready and headed out, texting Taehyung to meet him. He sat on a park bench, thinking. He was doing the right thing... right?

"Jungkook, hey!" Taehyung ran over, seeming out of breath. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing is wrong, just sit."

Taehyung looked to confirm he was allowed to before plopping down. "Okay, well then why'd you want to meet?"

"I wanted to tell you my answer." Jungkook looked at his eyes. "I would... be honored to be your boyfriend."

Taehyung lit up like the sun, "Really? Your not pulling my strings on me? Or like... trying to prank me?"

Jungkook chuckled, "No, silly. I mean it." But then he pointed at him, "But if you ever bully Jimin or me, your ass will be kicked so hard, you won't be able to sit for a month."

"I promise, that's been left behind me. I would never dare to." Taehyung embraced him. "Thank you."

And thank you all for your patience, kind comments, votes, and heck, even your reads. I'll work on an extra chapter for Yoonmin and try my hardest to get it out before the year is over. I got more hours at work so it's hard to write.

Thanks again for all the love. You guys have a Happy Holiday.
